The free agency landscape is bustling with activity, yet many notable players remain unsigned. While most are not stars, they present potential depth and specialized skills for the 2024-25 season.
Max Pacioretty leads the remaining free agents, having recovered from injuries to produce well for the Capitals last season. His experience could be valuable for teams needing scoring depth.
Tyson Barrie and Calen Addison offer specialized roles in power-play units, despite weaknesses in their defensive play. Veterans like James van Riemsdyk and Tony DeAngelo could potentially benefit from low-cost contracts based on past contributions.
Several wingers, including Kailer Yamamoto and Mike Hoffman, face uncertainty in their future roles as their production has waned. Others like Kevin Lankinen, Antti Raanta, and Martin Jones are on the market as goalies with varied potential. As training camps approach, many players may secure contracts or tryouts for the upcoming season.
